Interface IIntrusionDetector

All Known Implementing Classes:

IntrusionDetector

public interface IIntrusionDetector

The IIntrusionDetector interface is intended to track security relevant events and identify attack behavior. The implementation can use as much state as necessary to detect attacks, but note that storing too much state will burden your system.

The interface is currently designed to accept exceptions as well as custom events. Implementations can use this stream of information to detect both normal and abnormal behavior.
